Future Facilities Introduces 6SigmaRoomLite – An Easy-To-Use CFD Tool
Future Facilities Introduces 6SigmaRoomLite – An Easy-To-Use CFD Tool
Answering the requirement for low-cost CFD simulation to help ensure better design and operations of critical facilities, 6SigmaRoomLite can produce great results using simple, step-by-step guides.

Data Centre World, London, 2nd March 2011 -- Future Facilities has announced a new addition to its 6SigmaDC data centre design and operations software suite. Designated 6SigmaRoomLite, the new tool meets the need for a high quality, low-cost, and easy-to-use data centre simulation tool. The new software offers a clear and accurate view of conceptual design and environmental issues in critical facilities and data centres.
"We developed 6SigmaRoomLite in response to our customer’s requests for a less feature-rich and less complex application to provide a more immediate CFD analysis of data centre space," said Hassan Moezzi, CEO, Future Facilities. "We wanted even those unfamiliar with Computational Fluid Dynamics to be able to make accurate visualisations of data facilities with a minimum of training."
6SigmaRoomLite is well positioned for engineering decision-making at the conceptual design phase, where design assumptions sometimes lack detail and much specific information is in short supply. Using a step-by-step guide, data centre professionals can easily perform an analysis of static infrastructure and create a macroscopic overview of the facility environment.
Simulation is an effective way of managing both risk and cost when designing and upgrading data centres and computer rooms, because it allows the effects of design decisions to be modelled in the virtual world before being implemented in the real world.
6SigmaRoomLite features advanced modelling capabilities with uncompromised detail for critical objects like floor grilles and blanking panels, detailed equipment libraries and a state-of-the-art solver optimised for multi-processor platforms and with batch mode capability. Physical modelling capabilities include buoyancy, in-cabinet recirculation and more.
The new application is compatible with popular tools such as AutoCAD, and can import data from asset management software like Aperture. 6SigmaRoomLite uses industry-standard sensible defaults for library items and defaults, and is able to import tabular data for cabinet and IT equipment objects.
As more detail within the data centre environment becomes available, 6SigmaRoomLite users have the option to upgrade to the full scale and detailed modelling capabilities of Future Facilities’ 6SigmaRoom module, which boasts an extensive range of powerful features and full integration with a number of third party software packages. 6SigmaRoom and 6SigmaRoomLite are fully compatible so that room models are transferable in both directions.
"We believe that 6SigmaRoomLite will prove popular as a first step in data centre simulation and visualisation. As the need for additional accuracy grows so that in-depth analyses of critical facilities such as energy studies can be performed, and capacity and change management applications implemented, Future Facilities has ensured a clear upgrade path to the greater CFD functionality available in 6SigmaDC," said Hassan Moezzi.
6SigmaRoomLite may be downloaded for a free 30 day trial, by joining Future Facilities on Stand C32 at Data Centre World (Olympia, London, March 2nd and 3rd), by calling the company on 0207 840 9540 or by visiting www.futurefacilities.com.
